Creative: Virtual President Worsens Mental Health

During the 2020 presidential election in the fall, with COVID-19 (a deadly virus) dominating the daily lives of the American citizens, the outcome was sure to put even more stress on the public. The public – who was divided between the 2 primary candidates, who had experienced racism all year, who had been scared to death of losing loved ones, of losing their jobs, their education. But the government didn’t care. The government had other plans; the citizens were just social security numbers to them. They told the media that having a virtual president rather than a real human being would “bridge the divide between the 2 political parties and could be programmed to be unbiased when matters involve race or religion.” This was just the cotton being pulled over the eyes of millions of people. It wasn’t even 2 years before things started to spiral downwards… Having a president that no one could relate to, see in real life, or even touch had a significant impact on the mental health of the nation. Individuals who had aligned themselves with opposing parties have actually decided to come together as concerned citizens who wanted a real president back, they’d decided to vote for anyone next election…as long as they were a human. Having a virtual president instilled a sense of mistrust among everyone, even the elderly who were not used to technology (not even the smartphone in their hands).
